The two things we forgot were:
-Inclement weather (just go with OPM, you don't want to be determining this yourself at 8am).
-What happens to unused vacation/sick days at the end of the contract? Are they rolled over to a new contract if applicable? Paid out? Neither?

3. Late arrival- some parents show up late and don’t pay for your extra time. You can add the time to your check or they can pay a per minute fee in cash or via cash app (that’s what we do). Same for nanny. If she arrives late can you make up time, use PTO or is deducted from your pay
That’s the only thing we didn’t think about.
Good list. So maybe have a 10 minute late grace period for both the nanny and parents.

number, name and birthdate for all children, amendment added for extra children. Compensation to be increased by $x in the event of another child joining the family, and by y% minimum per year otherwise.
Thank you. What is a typical minimum raise to request?
